Russian MMA fighter Jeff Monson told he was surprised the British boxer Tyson Fury did not control the progress of the fight with the Frenchman of Cameroonian origin Francis Ngannou.
On Sunday night in Saudi Arabia, Fury defeated Ngannou by split decision in a 10-round boxing match. In the third round, Fury was knocked down.
— The fight between Fury and Ngannou was very interesting. And you know, I’m surprised Fury didn’t control the fight. Yes, it was a split decision and it was indeed a close fight, but Fury was knocked down in the third round. I thought Fury didn’t take Ngannou too seriously. Ngannou is a great athlete, who learns quickly, he is not a traditional boxer, he led the fight with the best boxer in the world until the very last round! It was a great fight,” Monson told .
Fury is WBC world champion, the 35-year-old Briton is undefeated in the professional ring. Former UFC belt holder Ngannou, 37, has 17 wins and three losses in MMA.
